Rise of Nightflower (夜華上昇)

4. Nightblossom Method

"Qingcheng'er has done it!" Su Ran stared at the radiant Su Qingcheng, who was emitting a faint but radiant rainbow glow. This was actually not dissimilar to the phenomenon she exhibited when she demonstrated her Penta-Essence Tianqi paths when she was much younger. Now that her Tianqi paths were slowly being reconstructed due to the mysterious medicinal properties of the Rainbow Phoenix Elixir that Yao Meiyue had brewed, Su Qingcheng could feel the power returning to her slowly. Though she had been demoted to Tianqi User again, she felt like she could comfortably reach Tianqi Geomancer status in about a year's time.

After a time, the glow finally completely faded, representing that Su Qingcheng's body had restored itself. Yawning, Su Qingcheng stood up and gave her mother and sister a hug. "Mother, sister, I am tired. I'm sorry to have brought a commotion up," Su Qingcheng sheepishly apologized. Su Yanran just smiled while Su Ran quickly dispelled any notions of attempting to feel guilty, urging Su Qingcheng to get some rest. This would end up being news that would shake up the entire Tang Gu City, which was already aware that the prodigy of the Su Clan had gotten in a freak accident that totally destroyed her Tianqi paths. Though regrettable, they would never be able to conceive the notion that Su Qingcheng would not only fix herself up, but demonstrate an even greater potential than before.

Naturally this was due to the Rainbow Phoenix Elixir, which not only could fix broken Tianqi paths, but also because it only worked on people who had Penta-Essence (hence the 'rainbow' in its name) it would also add an extra power and strength to the person who consumed it. By the time Su Qingcheng woke up the following morning, it was already noon – clearly she needed extra time to rest and let the turbulent energy within her settle slightly. You've woken up. Good, the elixir's effect has exceeded my expectations. You need to acquire a training room as soon as possible. We will begin today.

"Eh..."

Su Qingcheng yawned and got up, quickly getting herself ready – she would normally wake up several hours earlier, but the process of repairing her Tianqi paths of course took a lot of time. However, due to possessing Penta-Essence, her body was more sensitive to the geocentric energy in the air, allowing the energy to seep into her skin more easily. This undoubtedly expedited the process. Smiling, Su Qingcheng felt at her peak, something she didn't feel in the past four years that she suffered humiliation and ridicule. When she stepped out of the room, it was unexpected that the entire household already knew about the affairs of the previous night. Many of the Su clan folks looked at Su Qingcheng more respectfully and politely nodded or bowed towards her. Su Qingcheng felt a bit awkward as she was used to these people looking down on her. Clearly, nobody could expect that the energy ripple was because Su Qingcheng had actually re-awakened her Tianqi paths. However, this was actually further from the truth. The phenomenon was actually the energy caused by the forming of the Rainbow Phoenix Elixir, which could be considered to be a unicorn horn in the elixir world, a godly panacea that could fix even the unfixable problem of broken Tianqi paths. Thinking about this, Su Qingcheng now wondered what kind of amazing background Yao Meiyue possessed to even make such a miracle medicine from seemingly mundane ingredients.

Yao Meiyue kept mum on this matter so Su Qingcheng didn't want to probe any further than keeping the thoughts to herself. Soon, Su Qingcheng went to a hallway where many of her extended family youngsters were idling about or entering or exiting rooms. This hallway was actually informally labeled the Tiger's Den, it was composed of many training rooms. Originally, Su Qingcheng had a private room in this Tiger's Den but it had been abandoned ever since she lost her power. Now that she had gotten it back, Su Ran had already gotten this room cleaned up. Smiling, Su Qingcheng put a sign on the front door that said "DO NOT DISTURB" as she entered her private training room.
